Using the Bible to Drag & Keep Your Heart Near God

Ask God to give you eyes to see the worth of Scripture and to waken in you an unyielding desire for the Word of God.

Think about this:
The Spirit binds his faith-awakening ministry to the Christ-exalting Word. Which means that when we go to the Word of Christ, we put ourselves in the path of the Spirit’s willingness to reveal Christ to us and strengthen our faith.
-- both quotes are from John Piper's chapter--The Worth of God’s Word in the Fight for Joy-- in his tremendous--and free online--book When I Don't Desire God, How to Fight for Joy

(which i am noticing--is increasingly being put on people's MUST RE-READ list by many people including CJ Mahaney & Cov't Sem prof Sean Lucas)
